Leading content and data provider adds esports odds feed and in-house tournaments to operator’s offering in new deal facilitated via BETBAZAR
BETER, the industry-leading provider of next gen content and data covering sports, esports and live casino, has announced it has strengthened its partnership with top-flight operator, Betsson, in a new deal facilitated via BETBAZAR’s global B2B iGaming marketplace.
Under the terms of the enhanced agreement, BETER will provide Betsson Group with esports odds feed and in-house ESportsBattle tournaments for CS:GO and Dota2 in addition to the comprehensive level of ebasketball, efootball, ehockey and Setka Cup table tennis tournaments that it had previously provided. This content will be available to Betsson’s multiple B2C brands and B2B partners.
The extended partnership was once again accompanied by BETBAZAR – a B2B worldwide marketplace for the gaming entertainment industry that prides itself on connecting best-in-class product suppliers with relevant operators and platforms – and will now enable Betsson to provide its players with odds on over 25,000 live events across more than 450 tournaments per year, further improving its esports coverage. Also, its clients will get access to the whole ESportsBattle`s disciplines, which BETER provides with 24/7 live streaming, live data and odds within more than 33,000 events per month.
Renowned for its premium content, Betsson is already firmly established as one of Europe’s and South America’s most popular iGaming operators when it comes to casino and sportsbook. The operator’s decision to build on its existing relationship with BETER is proof to its commitment about its plans to further enhance its esports offering.
Evgeniy Bekker, Esports General Manager at BETER, said: “BETER has developed a broad portfolio of top-quality esports products that draw in the biggest operators in the business. Once they start working with us, it’s common for customers to want to add more of our products to their offering to maximise the potential they provide – and we’re delighted that Betsson has also chosen to do likewise. “Esports betting continues to grow at pace and it’s great to see such an established sportsbook operator taking steps to improve its esports offering to players. We’re looking forward to a fruitful extended partnership with Betsson that should also act as a signal to other operators that they need to unlock esports’ potential and offer their players a comprehensive selection of markets, odds and experiences.“
Max Sevostianov, Chief Commercial Officer at BETBAZAR, said: “This deal is the result of a year’s hard work between all three parties and we’re delighted with the fantastic roadmap we’ve created with Betsson for this expanded integration. We can’t wait to see these products go live on the Betsson platform and believe they’ll be absolutely key in helping them attract a new demographic of player.”

PlayVS to Launch Hockey Gaming Initiative Pilot with the Support of the NHL/NHLPA Industry Growth Fund
PlayVS, the leading amateur esports platform, announced the launch of a new pilot program Game On: an NHL/NHLPA Scholastic Gaming Initiative, designed to inspire the next generation of hockey fans through competitive esports and skill-building activities in three key NHL Club markets–home to the New Jersey Devils, Los Angeles Kings, and Detroit Red Wings as well as in a national, virtual EA SPORTS NHL 25 tournament.
The initiative, funded by the NHL/NHLPA Industry Growth Fund (IGF), is designed to promote access, inclusion, and connection through gaming, while giving young players the chance to engage with their local NHL teams in exciting, interactive ways.
As part of the pilot, players between 13-21 years old will not only be able to participate in the competition, but will also engage in positive, structured gameplay that promotes leadership, teamwork, and critical thinking skills that are crucial both on and off the virtual rink. The program’s focus on healthy competition, social connection, and digital literacy is aimed at helping players build essential life skills while fostering a sense of community through gaming.
High schools will also take part in club-specific activations throughout the Spring season, including in-person events and student engagement experiences with the NHL franchises. The first activation took place on March 20 with the New Jersey Devils as part of the team’s Devils Gaming Group Theme Night, where 40 students and coaches were hosted at the Devils Gaming Group Lounge at Prudential Center to play EA SPORTS NHL 25 including special guest appearances by New Jersey Devils Executives, Devils Alumni and Mascot NJ Devil.
To cap off the season, PlayVS will host a virtual national EA SPORTS NHL 25 tournament from June 13-15, offering players in the US the chance to compete for top honors and connect with peers across the country. Registration for the tournament will open through PlayVS’ Stadium platform in mid-May.
“Gaming has the power to bring today’s young players together in ways that are both meaningful and lasting. Through this partnership with the NHL/NHLPA’s Industry Growth Fund, we’re not only creating new opportunities for players to engage with their favorite sport, but also helping them develop critical life skills–like leadership, communication, and resilience–through healthy competition. We’re excited to continue expanding access to competitive gaming and making esports and gaming a core part of the school experience,” said Jon Chapman, CEO of PlayVS.
